Ghosts That Linger

PETER

Adams touch was met with hardly a breath of hesitation, Pet leaning in against the other man at the slightest invitation. His eyes were closed tightly, he wasn’t sure he could keep from tearing up any other way. There was another apology on his lips, for taking up space, being a bother, making Adam do this, but the words died in Pets throat.

Saying that whatever Edy had done to him sounded fucked up was an understatement. It was fucked up. Pet shifted, and looked up at Adam as he spoke about choices. ”Never... never had one of... one of those.” He said softly, looking lik he was considering the idea.

”I... I dunno if I can do... do that. I... I never uh... I’ve never done anything like it. The second thing.” When would be have had the chance? Adam had already helped so much, he couldn’t possibly ask for more, for a guiding hand, so Peter left it at that, if Adam offered to take him along to whatever his cool guy stuff was, Pet wouldn’t say no.

Distance, distance keeps you safe
And I don't wanna scare you away

You're laughing cause it's funny
How you're fooling everybody but me
